The Varian Edge is an advanced, state-of-the-art stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) system. It is specifically designed to deliver highly precise, non-invasive radiation treatments for cancer and other conditions with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Here’s an overview of its capabilities and applications:
Precision in Treatment Delivery:
-
- The Edge system uses advanced imaging and motion management technologies to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor, even in moving organs like the lungs or liver.
- Radiation beams are delivered with sub-millimeter accuracy, making it ideal for targeting small, hard-to-reach, or complex tumors.
Versatility:
-
-
- It can treat tumors anywhere in the body, including the brain, spine, lungs, liver, pancreas, prostate, and bones.
- Capable of delivering high doses in fewer sessions compared to traditional radiation therapy, enhancing patient convenience.
-
Real-Time Imaging and Tracking:
-
-
-
- Integrated imaging systems allow real-time visualization of the tumor and surrounding tissues during treatment.
- Motion management tools adjust for breathing or other patient movements, ensuring precise dose delivery.
